and some need a miracle

There's so many people on the plant. Pleant. Planet!

Sharing jokes. Sharing experiences. Sharing lifetimes with plants on a planet.

"The fact that some people can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can't put into words"

Sometimes high profile people are like that too, but soon I will be more evolved and it won't be anymore or less important then my newfound appreciation of the fruit that today I began to call a Korean Pear.

I wonder if the late night grocery shopping venue will have some of those.

And the Lapsang Souchong of my life

is giving me memories of the writer's groups I went to in my 20s.

Or just a friend and I, spending hours in her apartment, drinking tea and writing from prompts, just to see what would come out of our brains.

Stars giving some ideas?

Dreams too. Songs too. Memories too. And even WORDS.

Dreams (the kind that happen when you're snoring), and free time, and some searches, were in the cards. And things were found. A lot of things. And just one thing, among those many things, was...a piece of writing...that just...sort of...was about Wonder Woman and stuff...so it made you READ it. HA! You're welcome, inner child.

So, that's good and now you can get ideas for more things to show young people...but...since it's rather late in the term...that might have to wait for another semester...in the meantime, you can just look up...Three whole music videos that you hadn't heard of before! By Wonder Girls and G-Dragon and Big Bang. Oh, by the time of K-Pop video #3, there was some sort of significant internal shift going on. I mean, in addition to anticipating to a late night jaunt to the grocery store (didn't happen last night...we chickened out...it will happen tonight though!) TRAVEL seemed like it could become interesting again. Yes, there was those who thought they could travel, before the health problems became everything.

Now, the very fact that your health problems and your pains and your anxieties aren't as significant to others can be what makes them so annoying...one might say, perhaps even monstrous...well, when the suffering is minimal, we can attempt to be humorous. Like the Anchorman t-shirt you shipped to your SO for the holidays last year when you were halfway across the country: "I'm kind of a big deal" etc. etc. etc.

And that's why you only spent $77 at the CBD store on Sunday without planning on it.

Yeeees, weeee knooowe.

Well there is a pandemic going on, too. But! Travel could happen again, maybe? Someday...

In the meantime, there's pie.

I saved some for my grocery shopping companion.

So he can't be indignant.

AND.

I told him about microwaving it so the crust is still good.

What if i was in the desert right now?

It's not that far...hmmm....

And Cassiopeia

Saw you during the Perseids, up in the mountains, before the hellfires came.

Actually it seems like the ones closer to the moon are easier to see. Not anything right next to the moon. Just in the vicinity.

Yes, that is Orion's belt

What a impressively clear night. Even if there are streetlamps and a moon, I can see more stars than I usually do.

I wonder if cold makes light from stars travel better at night, as it does with the sounds of the freeway!

I have to tend to the face now

It's got some aching parts and so I would love for them to feel a whole lot better ♡

and another thing or 2 or 3

I looked up the Erasure ~ Respect video because it was hanging around...

I noticed Seoul 1988 Olympics because I know someone who saw them.

The skeletal structure

The angel

And that reminded me that I saw this:

That's what i needed

So much of me was in pain, and now it's getting better. I have a heating pad. I have 4 drinks. Milk thistle, water, a drink with Calm powder, and Tension Tamer with pieces of ginger. Who knows, how do you know, what can happen when you love your body and soul, when it's easy and your forgive yourself the headaches you have suffered...
